Andrew Garfield, our friendly neighborhood actor with a knack for spandex and secrets, has finally addressed the swirling rumors about his potential role in Spider-Man 4 alongside Tom Holland. Spoiler alert: Itβs not what you think, unless you think itβs not happening, in which case… good guess.
Letβs recap: Andrew, the 41-year-old heartthrob who once took on the role of Peter Parker in 2012βs The Amazing Spider-Man and its 2014 sequel, made a jaw-dropping return to the franchise in 2021βs Spider-Man: No Way Home. (Yes, thatβs the one where Spider-Mans plural teamed up for a multiverse bromance extravaganza.)
Now that Tom Hollandβs officially strapping on the web-shooters again for Spider-Man 4, fans are convinced Andrewβs about to swing in for another cameo. But alas, the dream may be as fragile as a spiderβs silk thread.
βIβm gonna disappoint you,β Andrew confessed to GQ in an interview. βYeah, no. But I know no oneβs gonna trust anything I say from now on.β
A+ for self-awareness there, Andrew! After all, this is the same guy who became a certified liar during the No Way Home press tour, where his denials about appearing in the film could have earned him an Oscar if lying were a category. (Can we start a petition for that?)
But wait, donβt rule him out of the superhero game entirely. Andrew hinted heβd be open to donning the suit again if the project felt right.
βIf it felt in line with my soul and was gonna be fun. Maybe Iβm gonna have like five kids at some point, and Iβm gonna need to start saving up for the school tuition or something,β he joked.
No Spider-Man-ing for now, but who knows what the future holds? Five kids and a Marvel paycheck might just be the ultimate crossover event we never saw coming. Until then, weβll just have to settle for rewatching No Way Home and analyzing every blink and breath for Easter eggs.
